Attempt to please God is waste of time
The boy is expanding his chest in an attempt to meet the standard requirement for military selection process. The same thing happens at every moment in a legalist's life to please God; this is why a legalist will hardly laugh. Thank God for Christ who perfected us through GRACE.
CHRIST IS OUR JUSTIFICATION
CHRIST IS OUR SANCTIFICATION
CHRIST IS OUR GLORIFICATION .

How to utilize time properly
God is beyond time and space but to fulfill His word and as a part of man’s redemption He became a man, Jesus Christ. He lived for 33 years on earth and was bound by time.
Before knowing how to utilize our time on earth we need to know the purpose of our being. The word of God is so clear about this topic. In Ephesians 1:11-12 it is in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had a definite plan on us for glorious living. He is working out the overall purpose of everything and everyone.
God sets a narrow path to know life's mysteries but Christ made it easy, His yokes are easy and simple. Spend quality time with God before making plans to save your time… Lack of prayer is the cause of lack of time; prayer multiplies time - Peter Kreeft. If we fail to pray we will fall in a competitive world and start air beating, finally end up in disaster. Man is a heavenly being, but as long as human beings are in mortality, nobody can make this world a permanent residence. Death has to be swallowed by life during our earthly life.
Being in the will of God is the best possible way to utilize our time wisely. Self-willed Israelites lost 40 years instead of 11 days to reach their appointed destination, unfortunately, they lost their lives too. Losing time is something like losing life! God-willed life of Jesus on earth was only for 33 years which resulted in Him becoming the King of Kings!!
Simple steps to utilize time properly:
1. Know who you are in Christ.
2. Know God’s higher plans about your life.
3. Pray to have everything you need to accomplish the will of God.
The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

BE RICH BY LOVE
Growing in relationship is the hardest task in the world. God only knows what human beings are lacking to build love and relationships. People normally think that being rich means rich in money, but true richness is building inner man with wisdom. The world is full of laws and selfishness. Man was created to have perfect liberty from all bondages including death. Relationships break when somebody commits something that we have never expected. Love becomes tough in such situations. Pursuing love is the hilarious solution for inner healing. As we think about spirituality, the first thing comes to our mind is good and bad, morality, ethics, etc. But true spirituality is beyond all human thinking and ethics. Handling and discerning things in the light of love make vast area in our heart to accommodate all. Selfishness and lack of wisdom always shrink the flow of love in us. Selfishness is hellish. Love and its fulness make us perfect beings and rich in heaven. The only way to be rich in godliness is showing love towards all from the depth of our hearts.Avoid self-deception.Love ourselves and others through Gods Love and become a perfect being .

PROSPERITY
Still, it’s what God had in mind all along,to crush him with pain.The plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin so that he’d see life come from it—life, life,and more life.
And God’s plan will deeply prosper through him.Isa 53:7
Our eyes, ears and hearts can never be filled on earth. God designed them for enjoying the unending glory of Heaven...Man is born to prosper. Prosperity is our birthright since our heavenly Father is immensely rich.God's desire for us is to be like him. Eph 3:19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.Christ came to give life and abundant life .Material prosperity is a shadow of heavenly true prosperity.This world is a passing one and our body is under mortality.Money can buy everything except life .Wisdom is the greatest treasure since it can keep our life eternal .Jim Elliot said , "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.Jesus Christ became King of Kings by obeying Father's will.The way to become prosperous is to do God's will always in all the ways.John 4:34 My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

TIME IS TO KNOW " WHO YOU ARE "
If your first concern is to look after yourself, you'll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you'll find both yourself and me.
Time and tide waits for no one.Human beings are eternal beings but God brought them into time for a purpose .
Ecclesiastes 3
1 To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
2 A time to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
3 A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
4 A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
7 A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;
8 A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace.
